Endometriosis is a chronic and often painful condition where endometrial tissue, similar to the lining of the uterus, grows outside the uterus. This can lead to severe pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and fertility issues. While there’s no cure for endometriosis, various treatments can help manage the symptoms and enhance your quality of life.
What Causes Endometriosis?
The exact cause of endometriosis remains unknown, but several theories exist:
Retrograde Menstruation: Menstrual blood flows backward into the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tubes instead of leaving the body, causing endometrial cells to implant and grow outside the uterus.
Genetic Factors: A family history of endometriosis may increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
Immune System Disorders: A compromised immune system might fail to eliminate endometrial cells growing outside the uterus.
Embryonic Cell Transformation: Hormones such as estrogen can transform embryonic cells into endometrial-like cell implants during puberty.
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Can Help
Pelvic floor therapy at Cynergy PT focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues in the pelvic region. For individuals with endometriosis, chronic pain can cause these muscles to become tense, weak, or imbalanced. Pelvic floor therapy aims to alleviate this dysfunction and provide significant relief from associated symptoms.
Components of Pelvic Floor Therapy
A typical pelvic floor therapy session includes:
Manual Therapy: Gentle internal and external manipulation of the pelvic muscles to release tension, reduce pain, and improve function in the pelvic region.
Biofeedback: Electronic monitoring helps patients become aware of their pelvic floor muscle activity, teaching them how to control and relax these muscles effectively.
Specific Exercises: Guided exercises designed to strengthen and relax the pelvic muscles, improving overall pelvic health and reducing pain.
